Why is my nomination still rejected because it is not permanent? This building stands in a row of houses, right on the main street. It can be seen on all available maps, yet it is rejected because of private land or because it is not permanent.
It is permanent, it has been standing on the site since 1950.
Welcome to the forums 
The rejection message you are getting doesn’t necessarily mean what you think. The rejection reason “not permanent and distinct” comes up in three situations:
-
reviewers did not think the object is permanent
-
reviewers did not think the object is distinct
-
reviewers did not think the object meets any criteria (exercise, explore, social) and wanted to explicitly reject it, so reject for not “permanent and distinct” because that is the advice from Niantic

Hello and Welcome,
Please give us more information…
Photos, Title, Description, Supplemental and location if possible.

Thank you for the information.
So they are rejecting it simply because they don’t know the history of our nation (and city). In other words, they don’t know what historical, cultural, and social impact this building had on the inhabitants.

It doesn’t appear that you have said what historical, cultural, and social impact this building had on the inhabitants. You would need to state this as justification for this meeting Exploration or Social criteria.
You would also need to provide evidence in the supporting information (links to legitimate websites), as anyone could claim anything about any building but that wouldn’t make it true.

Is it possible to include links in nominations? Additionally, further information takes up additional characters in the nomination, which is limited.
However, thank you, I will try to write as much as possible and add a link to the local chronicle.
Hi @perna182
To add links is allowed and even mostly suggested but please only in your supporting informations.
